Book Overview

Quickly acquire the knowledge and skills you need to confidently administer, score, and interpret the MBTI The popularity of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator(MBTI) among counselors, psychotherapists, educators, businesses, organizational consultants, and government agencies has made it the most widely used tool for the assessment of healthy personality. In order to use it appropriately and effectively, professionals need an authoritative source of advice and guidance on how to administer, score, and interpret this test. Written by Naomi Quenk-who coauthored the 1998 revision of the MBTI Manual-Essentials of Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Assessment is that source. Like all the volumes in the Essentials of Psychological Assessment series, this book is designed to help busy mental health practitioners quickly acquire the basic knowledge and skills they need to make optimal use of a major psychological assessment instrument. Each concise chapter features numerous callout boxes highlighting key concepts, bulleted points, and extensive illustrative material, as well as test questions that help you gauge and reinforce your grasp of the informationcovered. The initial chapters of Essentials of Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Assessment provide step-by-step guidance on test administration, scoring, and interpretation. In the chapters that follow, the author provides expert assessment of the test's relative strengths and weaknesses, valuable advice on its clinical applications, and several illuminating case reports.

Ethical Use of the MBTI

If you want to understand the fundamentals of using and interpreting the MBTI this book is an EXCELLENT resource. The author tackles advanced concepts, and the information contained is an excellent condensation of important information you need to know to use the instrument ethically. However, many (perhaps the majority) of professional MBTI practitioners do NOT endorse the use of the instrument for recruiting or other human resource practices (except for fostering personal understanding) as ethical. One of the myriad reasons for this is that type DOES NOT EQUAL competencies. This reductionistic view of the study of psychological or brain types is harmful and shows a sincere lack of depth of understanding of the previous reviewer's knowledge. And it adds to the mistrust individuals have because a wonderful tool for pursuing self-understanding and life satisfaction is used in these questionably ethical practices that tend to stereotype people. Any "type" is capable of exhibiting a wide variety of competencies and is capable of performing excellently in a wide variety of professions. Having different types engaged in the work of different careers adds to the richness of any workplace landscape. I am a career counselor with over a dozen years experience working with people and helping them find life and career satisfaction from informed and responsible usage of this body of knowledge. Prior to that I worked as a professional recruiter and managed professional recruiters for over 10 years.

Good Reading....

Competency-based recruiting is made easy with MBTI and this book nicely explains all the finer points of the technique. I recommend this book for all those who wish to implement Competency based activities in their organization
